Weissport, PA

Weissport is a quiet, tight-knit borough tucked along the eastern bank of the Lehigh River in Carbon County, sitting directly across the water from Lehighton. With just over 400 residents, the community has a peaceful, village-like atmosphere centered on the riverfront. The Delaware and Lehigh (D&L) Trail runs right through town along the historic canal towpath, making it easy to head out for a scenic walk, bike ride, or run right from your front door.

Originally founded in the late 1700s as a canal and boat-building hub, Weissport has settled into a relaxed residential neighborhood where everyday life moves at an easy pace. Because the borough covers only a fraction of a square mile, locals head across the bridge to Lehighton for groceries, schools, dining, and healthcare. It provides a scenic, low-key setting to call home while keeping everyday conveniences and regional roads just a couple of minutes away.
